RE: Lee ELDER's book "PETER ELDER of VA"
We have learned that the children of "SAMUEL ELDER d. 1811" are
in
a different DNA group, titled: "FRANKLIN CO PA"
but we do not know the specific ancestors,
as we have not yet found the paper evidence
leading to the correct parents of "SAMUEL ELDER, d. 1811."
We must keep looking for different parents for that SAMUEL!!
The old database at FamilyTrail still has "PETER ELDER" origins
for MOORE and "SAMUEL ELDER d. 1811 Meigs Co TN" listed
at
http://www.familytrail.com/elder/PeterElderVirginia/wc05/wc05_478.html
A good possibility for ancestor/or relative of SAMUEL
is another VIRGINIA connection --
"MATTHEW ELDER" who died "bef 20 May 1783, Washington Co, VA"
